The upcoming third season of AMERICAN HORROR STORY is poised to combine the great things of this world: The show’s natural state of batshittery, and witchcraft. Anticipation explodes then as the now requisite abstract teasers begin!

I have a great optimism for the general audience. We will rise to the occasion that a challenging, exciting film presents. Sometimes, producers and distributors do not share as such. In this case, Bong Joon-ho, the world class South Korean filmmaker behind THE HOST and MOTHER, and his highly anticipated sci-fi tale SNOWPIERCER are apparently being threatened with cuts.

UNEARTHED & UNTOLD has a story to tell and it’s exclusively for fans and admirers (like myself) of Mary Lambert’s 1989 Stephen King-adaptation PET SEMATARY. In line with other full length docs meant to illuminate production history, filmmaker insight and ultimate legacy of particular terror tales, a trailer for the as yet unfinished film gives a look at what to expect.

Michael Rooker is a fantastic, strange presence and was certainly a huge asset to the endlessly grim world of THE WALKING DEAD. Of course, Merle is now gone, and until Rooker pops back up in James Gunn’s GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, here’s last looks for the elder, less agreeable of the Dixon boys. It’s a nice little scene in which Carol gives Merle the business, being protective over both Daryl and a relative state of civility.

In just a month, Eli Roth unleashes his first feature as director in six years. Coupled with it being a seeming reinvention of the one of the last still-dangerous subgenres, Italian Cannibal films, THE GREEN INFERNO comes with a great deal of anticipation. As the Toronto International Film Festival approaches, we finally have some new looks to accompany that unsettling lone image.

Despite a big re-release just three years ago, William Friedkin’s THE EXORCIST is seeing yet another Blu package. Commemorating the 40th anniversary of one of the greatest films there is, it’s a beautiful, full package, at that.

A four-week, 64 film series of genre treasures will unfurl at New York City’s beloved repertory and independent house Film Forum this August and September. It’s a massive celebration spanning all manner of awe-inspiring fantastical cinema. From August 9-September 5, masters of horror, brilliant tales of science fiction and sweeping fantasy resurrect the festival, once an annual staple of Film Forum from 1987-1996 (hence the new, Son Of… moniker).

A great deal of haunted house pictures see a family move into a perfect new home, only to find they’ve got a restless roommate. Spooky things abound and ultimately it’s realized the entity needs some sort of help. The new film from acclaimed (and deservedly so) CUBE and SPLICE director Vincenzo Natali, appropriately titled HAUNTER, aims to tell that familiar tale from the other side.

PENNY DREADFUL, the upcoming Showtime series that will attempt to “League of Extraordinary Gentleman” a slew of figures from classic macabre literature into one, psychosexual web has garnered two leads.

It’s a Toronto-centric morning as the prestigious festival announces its slate and as per usual, Midnight Madness can’t contain all the horror. The Vanguard section sees the world premiere of Alexandre Aja’s Joe Hill-adaptation, HORNS, the North American premiere of the latest film from neo-giallo filmmakers Hélène Cattet & Bruno Forzani, THE STRANGE COLOUR OF YOUR BODY’S TEARS and Ti West’s highly anticipated THE SACRAMENT.
